Question

there was a raging storm. it was in the forest. rain fell. leaves rustled as the wind swept through the trees. squirrels hid as the sky opened up. all the birds, nestled in the trees, quieted and stopped chirping. which revision best uses a phrase to combine the first two sentences? there was a raging forest storm. deep in the forest, a storm was raging. to escape the storm, forest animals hid. to the animals of the forest, a storm raged.

Explanation:

The first option combines "There was a raging storm. It was in the forest." into "There was a raging forest storm" using the phrase "forest storm". The second option changes the structure more significantly with "Deep in the forest". The third option is about animals escaping and doesn't combine the first - two sentences. The fourth option is about how the storm is perceived by animals and doesn't combine the key sentences about the storm's location.

Answer:

There was a raging forest storm.
